Same here. cloud9:
600 singles, most of them originals from the 60's and 70's, and about 150 LP's too.

I believe some original vinyl is now fetching good dosh. :thumbsup:

Going from the tracks I've listened to on Youtube so far I'm guessing I need to be stoned to listen to the album but the DIY gramaphone kit and flexi included is an interesting little gimmick.  rubschin:
